Moon PrincessKiryu
Kiryu has continually pursued a unique musical style anchored by conceptual themes like “Japanese-style horror” and “exquisite nostalgic pain.” Enjoying high popularity—evidenced by accomplishments such as a successful show at Nippon Budokan—they released their first single after moving to their current label, B.P.RECORDS: “Tsuki no Hime.” With its heavy sound, dark lyrics, and incorporation of traditional Japanese instruments, the track perfectly embodies their concept and stands as an early masterpiece that topped the indie charts.
It’s also recommended for those seeking visual kei bands that prominently feature Japanese aesthetics.
Room of BlocksFuse Akira
The song released by Akira Fuse in March 1974 is a work that offers comfort to those who have experienced heartbreak.
Using building blocks as a symbol, the lyrics delicately depict the daily life of two people who have started living together and the various emotions that arise within it.
Centered on themes of love, parting, and the uncertainty of life, the song resonated with many and has long been cherished as one of Fuse’s signature pieces.
It won the Vocal Performance Award at the 16th Japan Record Awards and achieved major success in the music scene at the time, including an appearance on that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
It is a moving song that can prompt listeners to recall past relationships and reflect on how they felt back then.
Please give me wingsHirayama Yasuyo
It’s quite an old song, but it’s famous and still passed down today; it’s sung at chorus competitions and I believe it will continue to be sung.
Many artists have covered it, and it became especially well-known through Kaori Kawamura’s rendition, but originally it was performed by the folk group Akai Tori.
Akai Tori included a member from Hiroshima Prefecture, Yasuyo Hirayama.
I imagine many of you can sing it, at least roughly, right?
Yankee SpiritHirano Sho, Jinguji Yuta (King & Prince)
It’s a hot, slightly comical track inspired by Showa-era delinquent culture.
Included on King & Prince’s album “Re:Sense,” released in July 2021, it features Sho Hirano and Yuta Jinguji belting out straightforward feelings of love and steadfast friendship.
Despite being a Reiwa-era release, it’s packed with the playful wordplay characteristic of old-school tough guys, which will make you chuckle.
An energetic song for everyone who holds honest feelings toward love and friendship—definitely worth a listen.
Solo Journey with the Tsugaru ShamisenSaisei
Ayasei, a young enka singer from Hokkaido, is drawing attention.
In June 2019, at just 16, he made his debut with the single “Ginjiro Tabigarasu,” bringing a fresh breeze to the enka world.
Beyond his vocal ability, he excels at both Tsugaru shamisen and shakuhachi, showcasing his talents as a triple-threat artist.
Only six months after his debut, he won the New Artist Award at the 61st Japan Record Awards, proving his solid credentials.
With songs that modernize traditional enka elements, he’s presenting a new, approachable style of enka for younger generations.
Expanding his activities beyond music, including an appearance in the NHK morning drama series “Yell,” he is a rising star of the enka scene whose future is highly anticipated.
Moon and Melodywakusei gokko
The fluffy sensation soothes the listener’s ears.
Gokko Planet’s “Moon and Melody” offers a leisurely pace that puts the brakes on our hectic days.
Among their songs, this is the one I want to listen to while watching the gentle winter snowfall.
Moonlit Night Sea Bathingwakusei abunōmaru
It’s a song that overflows with a sickly, unstable vibe while still bursting with a sense of speed, just like in the music video.
What’s striking is how it’s sung from two perspectives: the man’s, telling her to choose either to love herself for eternity or die; and the woman’s, saying that if he wishes for death, she’ll offer her life at any time—yet she won’t say that out loud, because admitting it would make his feelings grow cold.
